Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Orange Bread

  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons Florida Orange Juice, room temperature
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • ¾ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Streusel

  • 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold

Orange Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Florida Orange Juice, as needed to thin
  • 4 teaspoons orange zest
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Make Streusel: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and orange zest. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Chill in refrigerator while preparing the bread.
  2. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined and lump-free. Set aside.
  4. Combine Sugars and Zest: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and orange zest. Rub together with fingers or an electric mixer for 30 seconds to release oils and flavors.
  5. Cream Butter and Sugars: Add softened butter to the sugar mixture and cream with an electric mixer about 2 minutes until beautifully combined and fluffy.
  6. Add Pumpkin and Vanilla: Mix in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Scrape sides of bowl to ensure uniform mixture.
  7. Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each to create a smooth batter.
  8. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet batter until almost combined.
  9. Add Orange Juice: Carefully incorporate the Florida Orange Juice using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing and keep bread tender.
  10. Assemble and Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth top. Evenly sprinkle chilled streusel over the batter. Bake 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with few moist crumbs.
  11. Cool Bread: Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes. Using parchment overhang, remove loaf and cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Prepare Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, orange zest, and kosher salt in a bowl. Gradually whisk in orange juice 1 tablespoon at a time until reaching desired consistency. Adjust thickness by adding more powdered sugar or juice as needed.
  13. Glaze and Serve: Once bread is fully cooled, drizzle orange glaze evenly over the top. Allow glaze to set for 5 minutes before slicing and serving for best presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure all wet ingredients like eggs and orange juice are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix after adding orange juice to keep bread moist and tender.
  • Use fresh Florida Orange Juice and zest for authentic bright citrus flavor.
  • The streusel can be made ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent melting the glaze.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
